Mularkey said Tuesday he has been contacted by the Browns and Denver Broncos. He said he will speak with both teams "at the end of the week." Mularkey previously coached the Buffalo Bills and has been an offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh and Miami, as well. The Falcons have a bye this week.

The Browns are looking for their fifth coach since 1999 after Eric Mangini was fired. Team president Mike Holmgren began a wide search on Monday, just hours after firing Mangini, who went 10-22 in two seasons.
